As part of a strategy to handle the risk of escape defect, the team decided to conduct one more cycle of testing before making the final release. Which risk response strategy would this be classified as?

Avoid

Contain

Mitigate

Evade

Correct

Mitigate is the right option. This is a mitigate strategy as by taking this step team is trying to lessen the probability of risk. This is not ‘avoid’-since team is not trying to steer clear of the risk. If team has decided not to release the product as a risk response, that could have been categorized as avoid This is not ‘contain’- because team is working on mitigation plan rather than having contingency plan , if team decided to keep some developers on standby for next 3 months to take care of any escape defect, that would have been the contain strategy This not ‘evade’- since this implies that team does nothing about it and expecting to be lucky which not the case here is.

One of your team members is insisting the Product owner to write the acceptance test cases for all the stories which are included in current release. The current release is having six 2 weeks long iteration. Now, since 3 months is not a long period he suggests, it would be better if PO writes them in one go so that team can do better estimation and planning. If you are the scrum master of the team, what would you do in such scenario?

Since the release duration is not long, you agree with the idea and explain the advantage of doing this to Product Owner

it’s up to team and PO if they agree it’s good

You explain that stories should be discussed at length only when there is right time, discussing stories which may even not get scheduled in this release is waste.

Looking at the advantage of upfront elaboration you decide to dedicate first sprint for elaborating all the stories.

Correct

C, Always Remember principle of last responsible moment; in agile we do things at last responsible moment. The stories should have details and acceptance criteria attached before they get developed not before they get estimated.

In agile we focus on the primary user role, we should not consider such exceptional users

Such exceptional users should be considered because it will helps us in identifying some of the user stories which we may miss if we do not think about such users

You say discuss with Product Owner if he agrees do it

In agile we keep things simple, so do not think of such complex things. Remember simplicity is art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential

Correct

B, This question is about identification of Extreme Character, we should identify them since it leads to identification of some of the important user stories which we may miss if we do not identify them

Once completed

Correct

D, Now if you are using some electronic software for writing user stories you keep them forever, this can also work as a knowledge transferable tool. However, generally, in agile we prefer working software against documentation and since we have working software which is accepted by the PO / Customer we should not care about what was written on the card. So once story is done we should look to working software for details not to the user story card.

You are an agile coach, a manager from the organization who has just started implementing agile comes up and asks how to calculate time and cost budget for a release in agile projects? What would you say?

We do not calculate cost and time budget in agile, it’s an empirical observation which we do at the end of release

The cost and time budgets are calculated at release level with the help of estimation in story points and estimated velocity, and this is updated usually at the end of every iteration

In agile we do things at last responsible moment and for calculating budget that moment is at the end or release.

It’s up to product owner and team, they decide when and how they want to calculate time and cost budget in agile.

Correct

Yes we calculate cost and time budget at release level based on estimated size and velocity. Product Owner is the one who owns the release plan.

Incorrect

Yes we calculate cost and time budget at release level based on estimated size and velocity. Product Owner is the one who owns the release plan.

Your fellow scrum master, who has just ventured into agile, asks you, how should I lead the team if I do not practice command and control? What would you answer to him?

The scrum master leads the team because of authority provided by organization

Uncertain and people-oriented

Uncertain and process-oriented

Certain and people-oriented

Certain and process-oriented

Correct

Agile methods work well where there is uncertainty in the environment and the results are driven by people rather than process. Heavy-weight methods canvass formality and discipline in order to work the intricacies of the project.

12. Question

Which of the following Agile Manifesto philosophy supports delivering business value to customer?

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Responding to change over following a plan

Correct

Delivering comprehensive documentation will not deliver business value without working software. Historically, in software development, it’s been a priority to exhaustively document everything: requirements, design, test suites, correct usage, and so on. But that’s expensive; so expensive that often the software itself suffers from the effort devoted to documentation. So we don’t write documentation just because; we write documentation rather we do it when it has value and is required.

In the Agile Manifesto what is on the higher side of the value chain than following a plan driven approach?

Customer collaboration

Responding to change

Individuals and interactions

Working software

Correct

Responding to change over following a plan – Agile Manifesto. The principle doesn’t devalue planning—just sticking to the plan. Planning is valuable in itself, and because the plan helps us recognize when things have changed; it helps us understand the implications of change, how we need to adjust, and the likely cost. The important thing is that, as we make plans, we understand that the plan may have to change. Planning is an ongoing time-boxed activity.

Question 20 of 20

20. Question

Which Agile principle has close resemblance to Lean principle of eliminating waste?

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility

Simplicity – the art of maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential

At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Working software is the primary measure of progress

Correct

In agile processes, there is a strong taste of minimalism. Include only what everybody needs rather than what anybody needs. There is a point in time when any additional effort put into work product will increase its cost without increasing its value. It’s easy to continue developing a product beyond some point. A Standish Group survey in 2009 stated that over 70% of functionality is never or rarely used. Not doing that work is a great opportunity to do more valuable work.

Lean manufacturing represents a fundamental paradigm shift from traditional batch and queue mass production to production systems based on product aligned single-piece flow, pull production.

Incorrect

Lean manufacturing represents a fundamental paradigm shift from traditional batch and queue mass production to production systems based on product aligned single-piece flow, pull production.

“Lean” is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Lean manufacturing is a management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS). The original main 7 types of waste from TPS are Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Over-production, Over-processing, Defects.

The correct answer is “It is a sign of the work being done and should be limited to boost performance.” A Kanban board shows work in progress (WIP), which represents work started but not completed. Therefore, the WIP should be limited and carefully managed to maximize performance. More WIP does not equal more output; in fact, it is quite often the opposite. Also, WIP is any work that is in progress, regardless of what stage the work is at, so the answer options that limit it to work waiting for quality assurance or user acceptance are wrong.

6. Question

What type of waste is “Excessive or unnecessary emails and document get forwarded multiple times”?

Over Production

Inventory

Extra Motion

Extra Transportation

Correct

The Waste type is “Extra Motion”. If excessive or unnecessary emails and document get forwarded multiple times sometimes with large attachments due to multiple distribution groups, it constitutes waste of type motion. Do not confuse with “Extra Transportation” which refers to unnecessary motion or movement of raw materials or goods such, as work-in-process (WIP) being transported from one operation to another.

Question 9 of 12

9. Question

The steps involved in value stream analysis include:

Create a value stream map to document delays and wasted time, such as meetings and coffee breaks.

Create a value stream map of the current process, identifying steps, queues, delays, and information flows.

Review the value stream map of the current process and compare it to the goals set forth in the project charter.

Review how to adjust the value stream charter to be more flexible.

Correct

The only option here that is a step in value stream analysis is “Create a value stream map of the current process, identifying steps, queues, delays, and information flows.” None of the other options are valid steps in value stream mapping.

Question 12 of 12

12. Question

What is the name of the process, tool or technique which help in automatic detection of process malfunction and product defect and prevents it from moving forward in the production process?

Kaizen

Kanban

Jidoka (Autonomation)

Poka Yoke

Correct

Jidoka is a Japanese term used for autonomation means “intelligent automation” or “humanized automation.” In practice, it means that an automated process is sufficiently “aware” of itself so that it will detect when the desired quality is produced, detect process malfunctions, detect product defects, stop itself and alert the operator. A future goal of autonomation is self-correction.
